"Director Fang, have you produced the fireworks that I want? Where are the firecrackers? I said that I will be here today to collect them. You can't tell me that you don't have them. " Feng Xingtai was wearing a woolen coat and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He was carrying a small leather bag under his arm. He looked like a boss.
"Mr. Feng, don't worry. I will surely produce them today. You had called twice this week to increase the stock. Did something good happen at home? "Bing City Fireworks Factory's Director Fang laughed and asked.
He was overjoyed that Feng Xingtai had ordered so many firecrackers. But what Feng Xingtai wanted were not pre-produced. He wanted custom-made firecrackers. For example, most people would order 100, 200, and 500 firecrackers. But Feng Xingtai wanted 5,000 firecrackers.
Others would order 2 firecrackers (double firecrackers), but Feng Xingtai wanted 4 firecrackers!
Others bought a single tube of magic bullets, but Feng Xingtai wanted a large row of fireworks, the kind that lit up the sky at the same time. This type of firecrackers could be produced. But in the past, the City only ordered some during Lunar New Year. The fireworks were displayed on Lunar New Year's Eve for the residents to watch. The fireworks cost around 10,000 RMB and were displayed for about 10 minutes.
Feng Xingtai ordered 20,000 RMB fireworks and 10,000 RMB firecrackers. But Feng Xingtai did not know why he called again two days later. He wanted another batch of fireworks. He told Feng Xingtai that there was a happy occasion at home.
He had just arranged for his workers to work overtime to produce more firecrackers, and Feng Xingtai called again. This time, he wanted 10,000 firecrackers. He wanted the loudest firecrackers. He also ordered a large batch of fireworks. He wanted the fireworks to fly the highest and explode beautifully. The fireworks must be visible from afar.
Although Feng Xingtai had only called Feng Xingtai and did not give him a deposit, Director Fang still arranged for his workers to produce the fireworks. He knew that Feng Xingtai was from Tian Peng Pig Farm. Most of the pork in the City was from Tian Peng Pig. Feng Xingtai was using modern technology to rear pigs. He had even appeared on TV. He heard that not only the City Government, but even the Provincial Government leaders had visited Tian Peng Pig Farm. Feng Xingtai heard that this pig farm's annual profits were at least a few hundred thousand RMB. That was more than what Director Fang could spend in his lifetime. Feng Xingtai was a big boss.
On New Year's Day, Feng Yu called his father to tell him that he had made high profits this year. He wanted to order some fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.
Feng Xingtai felt that Feng Yu was too arrogant. Why did he want to order so many firecrackers and firecrackers so much? Feng Feng Xingtai was too.
Feng Feng Xingtai ordered some firecrackers and firecrackers. Feng Feng Feng Feng Feng Feng had ordered.
He of firecrackers and firecrackers, and Feng, and had to pay. Feng. Feng Feng Feng had Feng Feng produce. Fang Feng Feng? So, Feng, and he., and, and, and, Feng, and he, I, Fang, I, I, and I, of. t...
So, Feng Xingtai did not deduct the firecrackers and firecrackers. He ordered 20,000 RMB firecrackers and firecrackers. Feng Xingtai told himself that he was not showing off. It was his son who wanted to buy firecrackers and firecrackers. He was only going along with his son's wishes.
But suddenly, Feng Yu called home and told him that he had been admitted to Peking University.
Old Feng was stunned. The university entrance exams were in the summer. Why was he admitted now? After asking, he found out that Feng Yu was exempted from the entrance exams. That meant he did not need to take the entrance exams and could still get into Peking University.
His son had been admitted to one of the top universities in China, Peking University. Old Feng was overjoyed.
Celebration. This must be a big celebration. He was happier than making a few million RMB this year. This was a big event for the Feng Family. It was something that could bring glory to their ancestors!
Feng Xingtai called the City's cinemas to show a movie at the district's Cultural Palace. Everyone in the district could watch the movie for free.
After that, he called the fireworks factory to order firecrackers. 5,000 firecrackers were not enough. He wants 10,000 firecrackers! Can't produce? I will give you an extra 500 RMB. Listen carefully. I will give you an extra 500 RMB. Is it enough?
Double the number of fireworks. Make them look as good as you can. Money is not a problem!
Today, Feng Xingtai came to the fireworks factory to pick up the goods. The whole truck of firecrackers cost more than 100,000 RMB. At first, Feng Xingtai felt that 50,000 RMB was a waste. But now, he felt that 100,000 RMB was too little!
These few days, Feng Xingtai was full of smiles. Especially when he met parents with their children. He would stop to chat with them about their children. How was their child's studies? Which university is he going to enter?
When Zhang Muhua heard about this good news, she went to visit her neighbors and friends every day. She will talk about Feng Yu with just a few sentences.
"Oh, this sweater you knitted is not bad. The weather is cold, and I want to knit one for my son. Do you know that my son was exempted from the entrance exams and was admitted to Peking University?! "
"Aiya, did you buy fish? My son also likes to eat fish. Fish is good for his brain. Do you know that my son was exempted from the entrance exams and was admitted to Peking University?! "
"This is because your son loves to study. My son is also very good at studying and was admitted to Bing City's Third High School. Do you know that my son was exempted from the entrance exams and was admitted to Peking University?! "
… …
Every time someone showed a surprised or envious expression, Zhang Muhua would be proud for the whole day.
At first, she was against Feng Xingtai spending money to buy firecrackers. But now, she felt that Feng Xingtai had bought too few firecrackers. This amount was not enough. He should buy more firecrackers and set them up for a few hours for the whole district to see!
"Old Feng, you had just returned from Bing City? What did you bring? New Year's goods?"
"No. Firecrackers."
"You still need to sell these? The profits of your factory in one year is more than what we can earn in our entire lives. "
"Who sells the firecrackers? I will set them up myself. Let's go. Remember to go to the Cultural Palace on New Year's Eve to watch the fireworks. Oh, there will be free movies at the Cultural Palace these few days. Go and watch when you are free. "
Set them up himself? The passersby mumbled. Who are you trying to fool? Set them up and buy a whole car of firecrackers? Even when he got married, he could not set up so many firecrackers!
There were so many firecrackers, and it was not safe to set them up in the factory. Feng Xingtai went to look for Wen Deguang.
"Old Wen, I had bought some firecrackers. I want to set them off during the Lunar New Year. The district has a warehouse behind the Cultural Palace. Lend it to me."
"Huh? Lend the warehouse? How many firecrackers did you buy? Why would the district lend you a warehouse? There are firecrackers in the warehouse. The district had bought 5,000 RMB firecrackers to be set off on New Year's Eve. "
"5,000 RMB? You call that fireworks? Who is going to see those firecrackers? I had bought more than 100,000 RMB worth of firecrackers. The whole district will be able to see them. Is there a problem with the district lending me their warehouse? "
"How much? More than 100,000 RMB? Old Feng, why did you buy so many firecrackers? "Wen Deguang's heart ached. This amount of money was enough to buy a big house in the city. Even if it was donated to the school, it could also be used to build a football field!
Feng Xingtai raised his head as if he didn't lack money. "I'm willing. I have money!"
